Send handprint or image/impression of both the hands. The print or image should be of a complete hand from wrist to fingertips and from thumb to little finger in width.

While taking the image or print, keep all the fingers open including the thumb so that the lines associated with fingers can be easily distinguished.

This is one of the ancient and most accurate method of taking hand prints. Even the smallest and minutest lines will appear clearly.

Note: Use either old tooth brush or cotton to spread the ink. If you are using tooth brush or brush, spread the ink from the wrist to the finger tips or vice versa (vertical). In case if you are using a print ink, then use a roller to spread the ink on the palm.See the online youtube video for more clearance.

Spread a big white paper on a table or any horizontal surface.

Now spread the ink (print ink or normal writing ink) on your palm. Spready it evenly. Preferabbly use BLACK ink.

Now put your palm cautiously over the paper and press it. Do not press heavily or shake the hand. Take precaution that the center of the palm is pressed in such a way that you can feel it touching to the paper.

After few seconds, take out your palm from the paper, first fingers and then wrist.
